"Few figures in modern American anthropology have been more controversial or influential than Leslie A. White (1900-1975).
Between the early 1940s and mid-1960s, White's work was widely discussed, and he was among the most frequently cited American
anthropologists in the world. After writing several respected ethnographic works about the Pueblo Indians, White broke ranks
with anthropologists who favored such cultural histories and began to radically rethink American anthropology. As his political
interest in socialism grew, he revitalized the concept of cultural evolution and reinvigorated comparative studies of culture.
His strident political beliefs, radical interpretive vision, and often combative nature earned him enemies inside and outside
the academy. His trip to the Soviet Union and participation in the Socialist Labor Party brought him to the attention of the
FBI during the height of the Cold War, and near-legendary scholarly and political conflicts surrounded him at the University
of Michigan." "Placing White's life and work in historic context, William J. Peace documents the broad sociopolitical influences
that affected his career, including many aspects of White's life that are largely unknown, such as the reasons he became antagonistic
toward Boasian anthropology. In so doing, Peace sheds light on what made White such a colorful figure as well as his enduring
contributions to modern anthropology."--Jacket

This fictional autobiography of a bright, but introverted and slightly insecure Henry Lawson begins at a young age when he
hears strange voices, which at first he does not recognize. He attributes one voice to Sable Shadow, a confidant of the devil,
and the other to The Presence, possibly a representative of God. His life becomes a ""sort of board game"" for these powerful
contestants. In high school, Henry is introduced to the writings of Jean-Paul Sartre, and he begins to see life in existential
terms, though this does not infringe on his rudimentary Christian beliefs. Upon Henry's entry int
